Provide a description of the implementation of each recommendation or action item in the action plan or area analysis report, including a statement on how the project was implemented or not implemented during the previous year. Please see the attached report, which provides the description for each of the County -Wide and unincorporated Kittitas County Mitigation Initiatives. 4. Discuss why any objectives were not reached or why implementation is behind schedule: Several important activities, such as the purchase of flood -prone property and the deployment of real-time stream gages to support a flood warning system, were accomplished in the reporting period. Additionally, reporting annexes indicated that they have had success implementing initiatives identified in this plan. While there has been success implementing the plan, Flood Control Zone District (FCZD) staffing capacity is a limitation for advancing some flood -specific projects identified within the plan. The FCZD is planning on supplemental staff support in 2021. During the October 112021, study session, Commissioner Wright noted that there had been no progress implementing Initiative KC -31, which is to enhance the existing dam failure early warning system and requested that staff investigate potential actions to address this activity. 5. What are the recommendations for new projects or revised recommendations? There are no recommendations for new projects or revised recommendations at this time.
